    Bromocriptine treatment for infertility normalized menstrual cycles and improved progesterone secretion by suppressing prolactin. However, excessive prolactin suppression led to shorter luteal phases, indicating a need for careful monitoring during treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Hyperprolactinemia can cause infertility by disrupting normal ovulation and luteal function.
    • Corpus luteum insufficiency and oligomenorrhea are common manifestations of hyperprolactinemia-induced infertility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of Bromocriptine in treating primary infertility associated with hyperprolactinemia.
    • To determine the optimal prolactin suppression levels for restoring normal reproductive function.

    Main Methods:

    • Patients with hyperprolactinemic infertility received Bromocriptine treatment.
    • Serum prolactin levels, menstrual cycle length, luteal phase progesterone secretion, and ovulation timing were monitored.
    • Treatment courses were analyzed for effects on reproductive parameters.

    Main Results:

    • Bromocriptine normalized menstrual cycle length (32 vs. 28 days) and improved luteal progesterone secretion.
    • Ovulation occurred earlier (day 14 vs. day 18) with successful prolactin suppression.
    • Oversuppression of prolactin (<120 mIU/mL) resulted in shortened luteal phases and premenstrual spotting.

    Conclusions:

    • A minimal level of prolactin is essential for normal follicular maturation and luteal development.
    • Bromocriptine treatment requires continuous monitoring of serum prolactin to avoid oversuppression and maintain therapeutic efficacy.
    • Individualized treatment regimens are crucial for managing hyperprolactinemic infertility with Bromocriptine.
